Fillings at Canton Family Dentistry

The most common use of tooth fillings is to fill a cavity. But tooth fillings also can be used to repair damage to teeth caused by teeth grinding or to replace part of a broken tooth.

During the dental filling treatment, the damaged tooth material is removed, the area is cleaned, and then the cavity is filled with a tooth filling. This will allow the tooth to operate as it normally would, but pain-free and protected from bacteria.

Before filling cavities, we will numb your teeth, gums and surrounding skin to avoid and lessen discomfort during the procedure. Next, we remove the decay and replace it with a filling material. Once you’re done, your mouth will likely remain numb for a few more hours. There aren’t any significant risks associated with filling cavities but let us know if you have questions or concerns.
